I have experienced bouts with depression for most of my life, but I suffered through serious depression for about 15 months - beginning about the time of my
CRASH. Symptoms of my depression included irritability, irrational thinking, insomnia and a death wish. I was forever crying and I went for over a year without laughing at all.
I don't wish depression on my worst enemies. I hope never to experience it again. I was not myself. I found myself not liking anybody and I avoided everyone like the plague.

There is much I should like to share with you concerning depression. The subject of depression was the most difficult to address - not because I am ashamed of it but because it encompasses so much. Actually this entire website addresses the subject of depression because everything that I am sharing with you in these pages is directly or indirectly related to depression.
I'm sure you would love to have a quick and easy solution to depression if you suffer with it. But, depression is a very complicated thing and I discovered that you must be willing to address many things in your life if you want to be free. Essentially, to rid myself of depression I had to do several things which included proper nutrition, diet, exercise and detoxing my body.
My advice to you if you suffer with depression is this - DON'T GIVE IN TO IT. I hope that you will choose to fight it. Anti-depressants can be administered, but I hope, instead, that you will search for answers and that the pages of this website will be helpful to you in your own search for answers.

When the heavy metals were moving out of my body I experienced once again a terrible time of depression. Once I was detoxed of the burden of heavy metals, the depression lifted.
